On Monday night, I jumped in a car and headed out to Long Island to see you play the Nassau Coliseum. It was the third time I’d seen you play -- the second this year.

I listen to a lot of music, but there are only a few albums that hold up after more than a few plays. I’ve had Only by the Night on my daily playlist since it came out last September. Almost a full year at this point. I’m still digging it. (Especially "Revelry" because it starts with the line "What a night for a dance, you know I’m a dancing machine." I never thought of you as ’dancing machine’ kind of guys.)

I missed your show at Madison Square Garden in January and I nursed a case of serious regret. So I was extra pumped to see you play Lollapalooza in August. I even waited on line to get to stand on stage. It had rained all day and I was worn out, but your set was worth it. You didn’t play "Revelry" but you played everything else I was hoping to hear. After Lollapalloza, I listened to your music double time. I even put EPs and B-sides on my playlist.

So walking into Nassau Coliseum on Monday night, I was ready. It didn’t matter that I had to go to work the next morning. I was unfazed by the weird pair of couples in the row in front of me who made out the whole concert. I just had fun. The whole crowd did. And it seemed like you did too. The set list was solid and you played "Revelry," which was pretty cool.

So just wanted to say thank you for the great shows, for all four albums, and being so gracious on stage. Keep up the good work.
